Matthew Bucciero raised to 3,700 and Robert Salaburu called before short stack Michael Beziz moved all in for 4,300 on the button. In the big blind, Ronen Ohayon announced a raise to 11,600 and Bucciero tossed in extra chips to make it 15,600. Beziz wanted to get up from his seat already but was reminded to stay in his seat in order to avoid having the hand killed.
It was then determined that Bucciero had raised more than 50 percent and thus it was a forced reraise to 19,000. Salaburu folded and Ohayon called. On the flop, Ohayon checked and folded to the shove of Bucciero.
